Gas Leak Location/Detection FAQs

How do I survey our natural gas/methane gas distribution network for methane gas leaks, what do you offer?

Answer: Please look at the EX-TEC HS 6XX range which has various configurations possible depending on the application. It can measure from ppm levels up to Vol% so you can use it to survey for leaks and to pinpoint them. It uses gas specific Infrared sensors for methane and carbon dioxide, electrochemical sensors for oxygen, hydrogen sulphide and carbon monoxide. An optional ethane sensor is available.

I am carrying out a survey on a natural gas/methane gas distribution network for methane gas leaks. I am on a tight budget and would prefer something less expensive than a gas detector with methane specific Infrared sensors. Do you have an alternative gas detector?

Answer: Yes: The Variotec 480 range of gas detectors uses semiconductor sensors for ppm measuring to identify methane gas leaks and thermal conductivity sensors to measure methane gas in the vol% range. It also has the option of incorporating a carbon monoxide, and/or oxygen sensor. An optional ethane sensor is available.

I need a gas detector for personal safety – confined space monitoring. Do you have anything to offer?

Answer: Yes. The Multitec 520 can detect up to 6 gases at once offering audible and visual alarms should the gas exceed pre-set levels. It can detect toxic and flammable gases.

I am looking for a cheap throw-away gas detector for personal safety – confined space monitoring. Do you have anything to offer?

Answer: No. Sewerin equipment is built to last many years. Please try elsewhere.
